Ashamed, sad and haying myself.

Yes, I have emailed Stirling already. There must be people like me who had no idea how bad getting caught is. Naive and dopey!

Ahh, nice and local then, both! My court appearance was in Merthyr this morning - fancy that! Small world lol. And in fact, Merthyr station was where I spent my night of terror.
Fully agree with the last comment
shopping.png Naive and dopey!
 
Just walked to the shop. 6 minutes.
I lost my license for the sake of 12 min round trip. Pissed me is the dullest person I have ever met.
Fecking eejit, I am.
Oh well, roll on losing some timber :);)
 
Last night, I drove to the shop after a crap day for a 3rd bottle of wine. Honestly, me? I'm a clever person, good life, good job, amazing partner who I'm dreading telling. What if he leaves?
Drink is ruining my life. I got caught 78 reading and spent the night in a cell.
I will be in court on 6th Jan and am terrified. No sentence could be as hard on me as I am on myself.
I can walk to work for next 6 months but little things like visiting my parents, going aldi etc.
What's worse, car on finance with 9 months left so it's not just taken my transport away but landed me in a huge bit of debt. Shoot me now.
It's not yet a blessing but I hope I'll get fitter and drink less, continue my evening course and have a better quality of life with drink.
It's coming to Christmas, I dont know how I'll cope without my own transport.
Loathing myself.

I am really sorry to hear this for you. I am 2/3 of the way through my ban and I, like you, spent a long time punishing myself. It isn't easy with no vehicle and some months pass more painfully and slowly that others. On the up side a week seems to fly by and once the initial figuring out ways to get about are understood you do sort of find a rhythm. Have a look at the site One Year No Beer. It seems very good and I have just signed up.
 
Sorry - I couldn't figure out where to reply to you. You will get through this. I was a January court last year and I was really scared. I just zoned out pretty much in court and kept telling myself that wasn't as bad as the cell. Be ready to do a course to reduce the sentence. I had to agree and choose a provider then and there and I used the company TTC who were very good. It will be very hard to see the silver lining, but you aren't hurt I hope? It will make you into a much more resilient person. I wish I could wave a magic wand and help you, but it could be worse. Good luck and try not to panic too much.

Thanks, I will look.
How long is your ban?
First day back to work tomorrow. Dreading it.
I have just bought a good quality umbrella on Amazon and will wear wellies to work in the rain.
I plan to get bus tomorrow morning to soften blow hehehe

No injuries. But mentally giving myself 50 lashings a day!
You're a year ahead of my so I am very grateful for your text x
 
I have 17 months after taking the course to reduce the sentence. Please put it behind you. I know that is really hard to do but you won't help yourself unless you accept it. You are no longer in the cell and you won't do it again I'm sure so you have already learned so much. I did lots of journaling and crossing off days in my diary. I also found a beautiful greetings card which helped, on the front it said "Don't count the days, make the days count". I try to think of this every day and I take pride in managing to get about. x
